Thanks Greg - I will check the site. I am hoping this works with the original 947C and 987C? You helped me several years ago when I purchased them. The big thing for me will be disabling the input voltage low warning.



Also - I just purchased the interlink to put both units together to share the data and waypoints. Are there better diagrams or info on how to cable them together than what came out of the box? I spliced the two GPS cables together to share the GPS a long time ago and I am having a hard time making heads or tails of the current instructions based on what I did and didn't know if I needed to get new cables because of the splicing I did. You can email me at [email protected]



Thanks again for the info - Bill, the Madkayaker

Yes the 947c 3D and 987c Si units were included in this software update.



I'll e-mail you directly as I have several better diagrams of how the InterLink should be connected.
